ntlm_auth was not found or is outdated.

I used Wine to run "Paint.NET64Portable.exe" and got the following error:

Code: Select all

Matthew_Wai@Desktop:~$ wine "/media/Matthew_Wai/HDD/Apps/Paint.NET64Portable.exe"
0009:err:ntlm:check_version Failed to get the helper version.

I have already installed and reinstalled the "winbind" package, but the problem remains.
How can I fix the problem?

Wine checks the ntlm_auth version with:

Code: Select all

ntlm_auth --version

What does this command return?

(Please note that Paint.Net does not work well with Wine)

[MatthewWai]

Code: Select all

ntlm_auth --version

Code: Select all

Matthew_Wai@Desktop:~$ ntlm_auth --version
Version 2:4.9.5.31-1+dde (UOS_Desktop_105*)

Just a fellow user here.
Mine returns:

Version 4.8.4

It looks like your version is recent enough. I wonder if is running into problems parsing/decoding your string?

How can I check if the problem lies in parsing/decoding the string?

That's right. When I look at the source code, it assumes that only dots are used between the numbers.

Please file a bug report.
Attach the output of ntlm_auth --version and
run the program with the ntlm debug channel and attach the output to your bug report.

Wine can't parse your ntlm version.
Please file a bug.

Done as you said.

I just got the following response:

We fail to parse the version number because we expect a Samba version like in this string:

'Version 4.13.13-Debian'

Your build has '2:' prepended to it for some reason:

'Version 2:4.9.5.31-1+dde (UOS_Desktop_105*)'

We should probably just drop the version check. I doubt anyone still wants to run Wine on a machine that doesn't have anything newer than 3.0.25, released May 14 2007.

So I don't know exactly how you get a fix. You can wait until it is fixed in a release, but if you keep your eye on the bug thread someone will post a patch before its fixed in release and you can build with the patch. It sounds like it might be just a patch to the "configure" script where they will delete a check. Either way, thanks for bringing it to attention.

Congratulations! The change was approved.
When Wine 7.22 comes out you will notice that your version of ntlm_auth is recognized.

Should you not be able to wait that long (I expect a week) you can also build Wine yourself.
